Art Focused Therapy

Art therapy is a way of using art-making to help you explore and make sense of life experiences, thoughts and feelings during therapy sessions, when words can be difficult to find.

Garden Studio

About the Therapist

I am a qualified art psychotherapist, with a decade of working compassionately with people who live with a range of challenges, or experiencing something for the first time and unsure how to process their feelings. Your life experiences are unique to you and my approach is to put you and those experiences at the centre of your time during therapy sessions by using a person-centred and humanistic approach. Using the creative process in therapy to Connect, Create and Regenerate.
